Braeval 1996 12 Year Old Blackadder Raw Cask

In its short life, it was founded in 1973, Braeval has seen its name change from the Braes of Glenlivet, had three extra stills added and spent 6 years being mothballed.

There are no official bottlings from the distillery and it rarely crops up in independent bottler's portfolios either. Fully automatic, the distillery can be operated by one person but it is still capable of producing 4 million litres of spirit a year.

Blackadder was founded in 1995 by Robin Tucek who was co-author with John Lamond of the popular whisky book "The Malt Whisky File: The Essential Guide for the Malt Whisky Connoisseur."

Blackadder believes in bottling only whiskies that are completely natural and all Blackadder whiskies are Robin Tucek's personal selection.
